After wrapping hundreds of cars in many different cities around the US, we have a pretty cool set of data that tells you the average price to wrap a car so you can tell if you’re getting ripped off.
A fair price for a full color car wrap is between $3,000 – $4,000. If it’s more than $5,000, you’re either getting ripped off, or the installer is actually taking apart every piece of a complicated car, in which case it’s worth paying more.
Here’s the differences you need to know in the quality of wrap work.
How Much Detail Is The Installer Willing To Go Through?
You might find a full wrap as low as $2,000 in some cities, or with an installer that is newer and looking for work.
But you need to ask them what exactly they are taking apart? Are they taking off headlights and tail lights, doors, handles, mirrors, antennas?
Get the exact details on how far they are willing to go to ensure every edge is covered properly.
Is $5,000 Too Expensive For A Full Wrap Color Change?
After talking with your graphics company, see how you feel. If they truly impress you with their level of detail, then it may be worth spending $5,000 plus for the wrap color change. Especially if your car has a lot of detail in the grooves and edges, and they’ll really need to get in there to do it right.
Car wraps last 5 – 7 years, and this is the car you’ll be driving for a long time, every day – so it can be worth paying for quality.
However – in most cities, our experience has been that you can get a very well done color change in the $3,000 to $4,000 range, so you can definitely shop that price around.
Does The Installer Have The Photos and Reviews To Prove Their Work?
Check out the installer’s past photos and reviews, and get referrals from customers who have had the vehicle for a few months and had the time to ensure every edge is covered.
Wrapping a car means time and attention to detail – the best installers won’t charge rock bottom pricing if they are taking their time on your vehicle. Look for your model too – if you want to get a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped, ask them for experience with your type vehicle.
A $4,000 job needs $4,000 worth of past work to prove the value!
